Orlando Sentinel questions Fidel about PiMP CUPS
COPYRIGHT The Orlando Sentinel
Byline: Aline Mendelsohn
Mar. 31--Once upon a time, there were bejeweled glasses called goblets and chalices. Today, they have a new name: pimp cups. There's The Pimpstress and The Pimpadelic, The Throwback and The Big Tyme, the Viceroy and The Royal. Those are just a few of the many varieties of the pimp cup, an accessory that has become popular among a segment of the hip-hop community. For the uninitiated, pimp cups are goblets -- sometimes trophy-sized -- decorated with rhinestones, cubic zirconia or even diamonds. Many of the cups spell out in jewels the word "pimp," "playa" or the cup owner's name. In the past few years, the cups have been a visible party accessory among rappers such as Lil' Jon, 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg. "The pimp cup itself is so iconic of the flamboyance and ostentatious nature of the pimp culture," says Jeffrey O.G. Ogbar, who studies hip-hop culture and is an associate professor of history at the University of Connecticut. "It's just an extension of . . . the same impulse to be ostentatious and gaudy." "I'd imagine they'd think it's a good accessory, just as much as would a businessman see cuff links as a standard accessory." A hobby grows Debbie Harrison is known in some circles as the "queen of bling." Also known as "Debbie the Glass Lady," Harrison says she originated pimp cups about 25 years ago. The Chicago woman made a hobby of painting glasses as gifts. As a bartender, she used to give them to her favorite customers.
Harrison, now 56, noticed that hip-hop videos showed artists drinking out of plastic cups. "I thought that was terrible," she says.
In 2000, she began selling the cups, which range in price from $100 to $1,000. Word spread, and now Harrison says she makes them for celebrity clients such as rapper Lil' Jon. Locally, Mark Layton runs a business in Seminole County called cus tomcups.net. Attempts to interview him were unsuccessful. "I don't want to go into the secrets of how we do it," Layton told The St. Petersburg Times in December. His Web site features dozens of cups in various shapes and colors. And for the women out there, Layton sells "Honey cups," because, as the Web site points out, "Ladies are pimps, too!" It goes with the outfit Chris Perry sees pimp cups as an exotic accessory and a good conversation piece. Perry, an Orange Park rap producer who goes by the handle "Tight Daddy," owns six cups in blue, burgundy, gold and platinum. He likes matching the cups with his outfits. "It's like a really, really nice showpiece at the club," Perry, 27, says. "It just catches everybody's eye. It really intrigues people, the glitz and glamour of the cup." About a year ago Orlando rapper Cesar Gallardo, a k a Fidel Cashflow, received a pimp cup anonymously.
He's not sure who sent him the stainless-steel cup encrusted with "crystal-looking type things," but he likes it. "I like the way it represents me, and it's different than anybody else's cup," Gallardo, says. "You don't just bring it everywhere," he says. "It's for a special occasion when you're looking to show off. You'll have your pimp cup, your jewelry on, your beautiful girls around." For Gallardo, the cup is an accessory, not a utensil. He avoids using it as a drinking cup because alcohol tends to take the shine away. But he acknowledges, "Depending on how drunk I am, I may end up drinking out of it." One thing is for sure, no matter how hard he has been partying, the cup stays with him at all times. "You don't leave it unattended," Gallardo says.

Fidel Cashflow In Orlando Weekly
STUBBORN STRENGTH
Fidel Cashflow: Year of the Hustler
Desc: CD REVIEW: ARTIST: Fidel Cashflow
Label: Pure Cash Entertainment
Format: Album
Media: CD
Genre: Recording
BY JUSTIN STROUT
The name is the first question in any discussion that involves Orlando rapper Fidel Cashflow. Whether you’re telling a friend about his uniquely accessible street tales, smoothed over with a cleverly straightforward A-to-B flow, or chatting up the artist himself in the middle of the final mixing of his debut, that moniker is a giant, nationalistic elephant in the room. Given to him by a friend in 1998 as a joke, the reference has become both a statement and a source of frustration.
“As soon as I heard it, I was like, ‘That’s me,’” says Cashflow, whose real name is Cesar Gallardo. “I admire the [Cuban] culture because my whole family, from my mother down, were born in Cuba and they came here.” In addition, Cashflow sees a parallel between his own musical attitude and the stubborn Cuban president. “I like the way that [Fidel Castro] stands on his own and doesn’t get intimidated by the bigger powers,” says Cashflow. Recently, New York’s mix tape king, DJ Clue, took on the same name as an alter ego, prompting fruitless legal inquiries from Gallardo and a dis verse on his own mix tape, put out earlier this year, Faces of Cash.
A frantic romp through every subgenre of hip-hop known to man, Faces serves as a solid preview of Cashflow’s forthcoming official debut, Year of the Hustler. Showcasing his adept grasp of confessional storytelling and radio-friendly hooks, Cashflow works his way through reggaeton, grime, even the “crack” genre being popularized in Harlem at the moment, in which the word is redefined as an adjective to describe something positive. It’s a fascinating display of an artist finding the right fit through sheer will, and according to Cashflow, the quest continues. “[Hustler] is gonna have something for everybody,” says Cashflow. “It has down-South songs, pimp songs, sing-along songs. Pretty much the message that I’m sending is that they need to pay attention to me.”
Cashflow sees the Orlando hip-hop scene as one that’s ready to blow. He believes all the necessary components are in place, but it’s going to take a breakout star to bring everything together — a role he believes he can fill. “I have more than skills in one arena,” says Cashflow. “I’m a member of Full Impact All Starz, which is an elite group of artists and DJs in Central Florida.”
Additionally, the charismatic MC has signed two rising artists, Lady Lyric and Dirt Po, to his Pure Cash Entertainment boutique, and believes he does not need to go anywhere else to make his mark. “When I first came here from New York, I didn’t like it. So I stuck it out, and it wound up being very, very good for me,” he says. “I feel like if you’re destined to be [a star], regardless of where you are, it’s gonna come to you.”
Fidel Cashflow in the Orlando Sentinel
The Orlando Sentinel, Fla., Jim Abbott column: Fidel Cashflow does things by the book.
COPYRIGHT 2007 The Orlando Sentinel
Byline: Jim Abbott
Sep. 28--Cesar Gallardo, an Orlando hip-hop entrepreneur when he's not rapping as alter ego Fidel Cashflow, couldn't decide whether to start a modeling agency or a magazine.
He went with the latter, which sounds like a lot more work and a lot less glamour than coordinating swimsuit shots. Deadlines, designers, printers, advertisers.
"There's a lot of chasing a lot of different people around," Gallardo says. "There were deadlines that I was trying to meet, then there was getting them pushed back to wait on the designer and the printer."
In the end, there was the inaugural issue of Pure Cash Magazine, a hip-hop lifestyle publication that Gallardo hopes to publish quarterly. It's 31 pages of industry profiles, dating advice, music news and, yes, swimsuit models.
The Q&As, with subjects such as Ozone magazine publisher Julia Beverly, offer some meat to balance the "Amorous Corner" devoted to those swimsuit models.
Interview subjects are relentlessly upbeat, which is OK, but my favorite feature is the dating advice. The first installment is about keeping a "friend with benefits":
Among the "do's": "listen to her talk about stuff you don't care about" and "tell her she is sexy, NOT beautiful."
A "don't"? Don't take her out for special occasions.
Seems as if I've been doing a few things wrong.
But back to the magazine: Gallardo is still working on a distribution deal but hopes to make the magazine a fixture in shops and businesses that might be a good fit with its hip-hop audience.
In the meantime, he is launching an online version, at pure cashmagazine.com, that will be updated weekly. The Web edition will be interactive, with a spot for readers to vote on cover models and other features.
In the music realm, a new Fidel Cashflow album, Pentoxicated, is in the works. The idea is that the magazine might open promotional doors for the music, Gallardo says.
"I'm more inspired now than ever, with more going on," he says. "I have a lot more on my plate than I did before, but now it looks more delicious."
